HMG Adds 70 New Metallic Colours to its Colour Box

Date: 14/03/2022

HMG Paints has added 70 new metallic colours to its ColourBase Colour Box, available in a range of HMG products and ideal for industries such as Commercial Vehicle, Horseboxes and ACE.

HMG added 70 new metallic colours to its ColourBase Colour Box, a multi-function tool that contains over 2,400 colour chips, displayed in chromatic order within 20 fan decks. The colours displayed in the Colour Box have a chromatic code that identifies their position in the colour sequence and that also corresponds to a colour existing on the market for reference. The colours contained in the box – available in a counter top version or carry case – are sourced from a number of popular colour systems, including RAL, British Standard, Commercial Vehicle Fleet Colours, Agricultural, Afnor and more.

The new range provides enhanced colour matching capability for HMG’s customers and distribution network. All colours will be available via a software update of ColourBase, HMG’s colour formulation software, which already boasts over 90,000 colours.

“Our colour team have worked tirelessly to bring these new metallic shades to our distributor network and customers; the new colours have been developed based on extensive collaboration with our customers and partners”, commented Danny Cleary, HMG Sales Director. “The new metallic colours are a great compliment to the existing 2,400 colours and will be popular across a number of industries.”

“The new metallic shades combine popular metallics from ranges such as RAL and leading Commercial Vehicle OEM’s along with the industry expertise of our colour team who have developed new shades that offer chromatic continuity”, added Danny Cleary. “Having these colours available in the Colour Box carry case means that representatives can match out on site and have depots produce the colour almost immediately across a number of HMG systems.”
